I wouldn't want my surgeon or my cop or my building inspector to be high on the job. Mechanic? actor? chef? office monkey? paper pusher? why the hell not? I know folks who could definitely take apart and put back together an engine better high than sober.
Weed doesn't intoxicate at all the same way alcohol does.
Sure, most employers would say, yeah, okay, dont come in high. fine. But I can imagine that a lot of small businesses wouldnt give a fuck if it didnt affect performance.

I was sort of playing devil's advocate. I agree with you...but you're not going to convince the opponents of that. And I think if things do change it's a concession we'll have to make.
Back in my heyday...it was awesome to take a quick break and catch a buzz while working at the bar. Of course, having a couple drinks was OK too if you don't get stupid. I think it's hard to get stupid smoking weed (at least the crap shit you find these days...bring back my heyday with sensi and indica.) Working on tiny assemblies and soldering too...you could get so focused.
I wouldn't do it now. Though I tell you...it sure would help with the stress.
